The Paths of Fire and Earth — Barbara G. Tarn

The Path of Fire Raykim is bored. His strange looks mean nobody wants him. Sila fear him, Humans think he's a demon, Fajrulo don't care. A young half-blood with blue hair and bat-like wings, pointed ears and yellow eyes, he has the power of Air and Fire. When he makes rain pour over a gladiator ring, something unexpected happens. It's the beginning of a new life, finding friends, moving away from his birthplace and slowly â€" very slowly â€" growing up. The quest for Keneith's mother becomes a journey though life's highs and lows. Throughout the whole continent, a story of coming of age and falling in love. And dragon cubs. A Silvery Earth short novel. The Path of Earth Keshav is a thirty-year-old scholar who has been touring the southern kingdom's libraries in search of knowledge. In Godwalkar he stumbles upon the Genn works and discovers the existence of the Magical Races that populated mostly the north. He decides to go looking for the lost Genn cities with the help of merchant Babita, who knows the way up to a certain point, and the protection of Rohan. The merchant, the scholar and their bodyguard journey to the northern kingdoms springing up from the ashes of the Moren Empire. Their search might not be of just physical proof of the Genn, since all three have very good reasons to leave their hometowns.
